ISO 7206-10 Compression/Tensile Test on Modular Femoral Heads

The ISO 7206-10 standard specifies the requirements on the testing system for the determination of resistance to static load of modular femoral heads.

ISO 7206-10 Scope and requirements

ISO 7206-10 Implants for surgery – Partial and total hip-joint prostheses – Part 10: Determination of resistance to static load of modular femoral heads

  • The ISO 7206-10 standard applies to modular femoral heads with a conical connection between the femoral head and the femoral stem.
  • The standard specifies methods for the determination of the compression force or breaking force and the tensile force (disassembly), to cause failure of the component. ISO 7206-10 applies to metallic and non-metallic components.
  • To determine the compression and tensile force, a minimum of five femoral heads must be tested.

Testing to ISO 7206-10 with ZwickRoell

  • The tensile test and compression test are normally carried out using a static ZwickRoell testing machine.
  • To protect the operator from fragments, use of a safety device is mandatory.
  • The ZwickRoell testXpert III testing software allows the user to configure standard requirements as well as customized test settings.
